EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION

All can be accomplished with Excellent Communication.  I think it is so cute how this LightBlast came through.  ‘Excellent’ always seems so sweet to me, perhaps because Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was a fun, campy staple of my college years; there was such a joyful innocence to that movie, yet a nice message (Be excellent to each other).  Remember that courage from Allowing Another Within from last week?  Well, it ain’t over yet!  (Is bad grammar allowed in Excellent Communication?  LOL!)  Communication is a sharing.  In its fullest sense, Excellent Communication entails complete honesty.  As I’ve watched myself step up to the plate on more honest communication over the years (work in progress) I’ve realized I had to let go of manipulating through emotions, knowing when I’m reacting from my own insecurities and displacing them on another, standing up to a hard Truth that needs to be spoken as I hold my boundaries, allowing others to try to manipulate and calling them on it or letting them think I didn’t notice, as appropriate.  I’ve learned how to interact with people that will perpetuate negative or limiting beliefs and steer the conversation into a non-polarized discussion or just let them maintain their status quo without supporting it.  I’ve let go of gossip as daily sustenance (I still imbibe once in awhile – don’t judge!  LOL!) and I let go of continuing to mainly tell a negative story and focusing on ‘what is’ as the only valuable perspective.   

Excellent Communication begins Within.  It begins with being honest with yourself, forgiving with yourself and expanding your comfort zone to a new height of honesty.  Excellent Communication is a moment-by-moment interaction.  There are those that we communicate easily with - use them to appreciate how wonderful it can be.  There are those that challenge us with avoidance, degradation, manipulation, deception.  Use them to appreciate your inner recognition of where they are, where you are and where you want to be with your integrity and honesty.  Enjoy it all, for it is all serving growth.  Sometimes you don’t get to see another improve, but your honesty, your compassionate honesty, can help.  Being compassionate with yourself and supporting your own step-by-step improvement is also important.  There are those that we have such an emotional charge with that we may not have access to deep compassion for them yet.  There are those that are such poor communicators that we may not have expansive communication with yet (or ever).  These are all teaching us great lessons.  Progress is always happening when you are courageous enough to become aware. 

Sometimes Excellent Communication means the wisdom choice is maintaining silence.  Is it our job to point out all the rights and wrongs of another?  No, it is our job to maintain our own progress and Flow of Improvement, which means going Within, assessing our needs/motivations, evaluating Another’s involvement with it and expressing ourselves clearly, completely and Lovingly.  Sometimes that results in silence (or observance), sometimes conversation, sometimes confrontation.  Healthy boundaries are imperative to  Excellent Communication.  Communicating Lovingly doesn’t mean you’re a doormat, it means you wisely interact from a place of Allowing others to be as they are, maintaining your own boundaries of safety and fulfillment and choosing to create your life in an ever increasing Flow of Love and Empowerment. Confrontation doesn’t mean a rageful, abusive explosion.  It is best served as a calm, direct discussion, and getting someone to agree or even apologize should never be the goal.  Expressing yourself and holding your own boundaries is all that is ever necessary for your benefit.   

As we sit to Blast Excellent Communication, we are listening to our own heart and learning to Allow Love to be our response.  We are remembering that we are Empowered sovereign Beings that compassionately and assuredly hold our own boundaries.  We are understanding that the voice of Love has many words and actions that communicate constantly with an open heart.  We are activating our own Powerful Love that transforms the way the world shares and relates.  We are Lighting the way to a New Empowered World of Love as we Communicate clearly, honestly, patiently, compassionately and most Excellently.  Blast on, dudes!  :o)

ALLOWING ANOTHER WITHIN

This is a time of great empowerment if we are well with change.  Change is best served by listening to our heart and Trusting Love to Create.  It takes great empowerment because the world does not automatically reflect Love to you at this time.  It has been reflecting traumatic natural disasters, greed, abuse, lies, war, lack, blame.  Not easy stuff to Love.  You don’t have to Love it, your job is to Love Life.  Love the process that is before you; find the thread of Love, the thread of possibility for Love within it and loom a new fabric of Life.   This takes a courageous honesty that is not as common as you may think.  To admit to yourself that you are afraid, insecure, resentful, annoyed, confused, avoiding – these are courageous acts.  So many numb to them, deny them, avoid them or  mask them with ‘feeling only love.’  The inner work, the inner experience is something that takes great courage because our societies  mostly teach repression and avoidance of emotion, (often unless to use them for financial gain).  It’s a courageous person that unplugs from the machine.  The confusing part is we’re still living in the world.  This is ‘being in the world, but not of it.’

So here we are then at Allowing Another Within.  We did Another Within about a month ago.  It was about our connection to All, to our Source Energy, to each other.  Here we take it to a new level of courage.  It is time.  How powerful are you to let Life live through you?  How powerful are you to embrace Life as perfect in each painful or joyful moment and Allow it, Release it, Improve it?  How powerful are you to not just tolerate others, but to Love them as they are? (Dang that’s a toughie sometimes!)  How powerful are you to maintain focus on the thread of Love in a situation that doesn’t inspire it?  How powerful are you to empathize with others, help them as appropriate and yet not take responsibility for them or feel guilty for not being as challenged as they are?   Are you courageous enough to maintain boundaries that support your wellbeing and empowerment?  How powerful are you to engage this worldly life fully and maintain your Divine Connection?  How much Divinity can you bring into each moment of your life?  It won’t all be rainbows.  Sometimes it’s the storm before the rainbow.  But storms always pass and rainbows always come, even if we don’t see them.  Can you endure?

What if it wasn’t about endurance?  The real question is can you enjoy it?  It’s not a matter of ‘yay, someone is suffering!’ enjoyment, it’s a deep appreciation for the process of Life and the transformation that results from the challenges.  It’s the understanding that the experience of Life is going through death and birth, and appreciating both for what they are.   Renewing, progressing, learning, improving.  This is the middle road, not the center of two extremes that are avoided, the all-encompassing understanding that embraces All for its unique perspective and finding Love within that.  That Another may choose differently, even if that choice is to suffer, hate or avoid - is the gift of empowerment that each has Within.  Can you Love them, even if it’s from a distance, for their possibility to find Love within the challenge or the choice of today?  It takes a courageous person to Love in the face of disdain.  Can you enjoy that?  You may be in a moment of storm with it - enjoy that, too.  It isn’t the fun part, it’s the part you appreciate for the cleansing, the release, the focus toward improvement.  And I don’t mean release as in, ‘I’ll be happy when…,’ I mean release as in letting go, even if that situation remains in your life. 

Allowing Another Within takes the great courage that Allowing entails, for it is not a space of control, it is the unknown.  It takes the great courage of recognizing that difference is a gift of each human, even if you disagree with their choices.  It takes the great courage of looking Within during a moment of storm and appreciating the benefits of challenge; the I/eye of the storm!  Look for that place of calm/neutrality Within.  It takes great courage to share in Another’s pain, release it and see them as empowered to do the same, even if they can’t find the courage yet.  It also takes courage to share in Another’s joy and embrace any feelings of lack or jealousy that come up Within you, so that your courage to Love heals pain instead of numbing to it.  This is a time of courage.  It’s a time of focusing the mind to serve the heart.  It’s a time of living your Divinity in a world that doesn’t just reflect it easily. 

As we sit to Blast Allowing Another Within, we are activating our courageous Divine Nature that Knows Love as a way of Life, a way of Expansion and a way of Healing.  We are recognizing the Divinity in All, not just the nice ones we agree with.  We are remembering that it is our powerful Love that changes the world, magnetizing new form based in Love that is building over time from the unseen to the seen.  We are embracing the Knowing that we are courageous enough to welcome the entirety of Life, Knowing our limit of the moment (Allow the storm to pass) and expanding through increased focus on the thread of Love.  We are opening our Sacred Heart to the Creative moment of Now.  We are Changing.  Ourselves, others, our World.  Blast on!

CREATION WITHIN

This is a powerful time of recognizing our potent creative abilities.  We have had this lesson all year as the December solstice and eclipses propelled us into a new level of personal responsibility and Creative responsibility.  It is our inner attention and emotional output that emanate a call to Creation.  Our heart is a powerful electromagnetic organ that speaks to us through emotion and communicates to the world around us via the electromagnetic field.  As we feel Love, we are emanating a vibration of Love that magnetizes more Love to us.  As we feel fear, we are emanating a vibration that magnetizes more fear.  Fear becomes a cycle of non-solution, victimhood and overwhelm.  Maintaining a perspective of Love (via F.O.C.U.S. on Gratitude and Trust) is important to your vibrational output.  Our brain is an electromagnetic organ as well, but not nearly as strong as the heart.  The brain is a beautiful machine of focus, categorization, comparison, understanding and choice analysis.  When it is used in response to the heart, it follows a powerful remembrance of our Divinity.  When it dominates the heart, it serves the systems outside of us, the worldly systems of survival and fear, the systems that are taught to us by others.  These systems aren’t all bad or completely wrong, they just tend to be fear-based and lack-based.  The heart has the capability to understand and interact with the systems of the world from a place of empowerment and sovereignty.  When the brain serves the heart, you begin to find solution within circumstances that challenge you.  You begin to find courage where overwhelm used to reside.  You begin to find compassion where anger or avoidance dominated your ability to Love. 

This exciting time of Ascension is all about bringing our Divinity into form.  It is the merging of the human and the Divine, a process of remembering what has been forgotten.  We were never without our Divinity, just distracted from it.  Your Divine Nature is the Source Energy within you that creates.  It is the glue of the universe, Love.  It is Love that unites the unseen building blocks of Life into form.  The gift of your Divine Nature is choice.  You have a choice as to whether or not you enhance your connection with your Divinity.  Your choice to interact with your Divine Love is your choice to Create anew. 

We create all the time.  It’s built-in functionality.  We are constantly receiving vibrational input and emanating vibrational output that interacts with the unseen building blocks of Life.  Choose your vibration and you have chosen to Create instead of re-create or re-act to what has already been.  This moment of now is as it is.  Your choice to find the thread of Love within it, the Power of Divinity, is your active interaction with change, with Creation.  That situation that is challenging you?  It is offering you the gift of choice to Create with Love.  Feel the anger, the frustration, the possibility, the relief, the hope, the Trust, the Gratitude…  When the mind serves the heart, it has access to a perspective of Love that sees the possibility of solution.  In this way, you allow your mind to serve your expansion via the powerful electromagnetic capacity of the heart as it seeks more Love, more joy, more excitement.  Challenge can either inspire change for the better or propagate more fear, disillusionment and disempowerment.  Choose Love and you’ve chosen to Create new form.  Choose Love and you’ve chosen to heal instead of repress or continue a destructive pattern.  Your choice to Love changes how you deal with everything around you, as the vibrations you receive have less fearful or disruptive energy to you and the vibration you emit magnetizes more Love.  That’s using the heart/mind connection to improve your life and the life of others you may or may not come into contact with.

As we sit to Blast Creation Within, we are allowing our mind to serve our improvement rather than being dominated by outside stimulation and demands.  We are opening our heart to lead us to greater Love and using our brilliant mind to determine a path.  We are feeding the world around us with the vibration of Love, the energy of Source, The Great Unifier.  We are remembering that we are powerful electromagnetic Beings that magnetize and emanate out via a field of unseen energy.  We are beginning to Love exactly where we are because it is leading us to exactly where we will be.  We are fulfilling our Soul Path to Remember Love, the powerful unseen building block of form.  We are remembering that Choice is our inner sanctum of Divine Creativity and the world is asking us to remember so we can shine forth a beacon of Love.  We are going within our powerful heart to teach ourselves and others that Love is the quest, the answer, the Creator of form.  Creation begins Within.  Blast on!

FREEDOM ALIGNED

How bright is the Light Within you?  Are you feeling its warmth, the glow of excitement and the electricity of expansion?  This is Love.  Love is Freedom Aligned.  Love is the reason, the rhyme, the elixir and the flavor.  It brings each moment to Glory, it brings polarity to understanding, it brings release to fear, it brings Creation to your physicality.  Within Freedom Aligned, there is only Love.  Not just one feeling - All is Love.

What keeps you from Freedom?  Each day it may be a different focus that comes forward for your understanding.  I watch myself as I resist fears, resist emotions and resist movement forward so I can be assured of…what?  Acceptance?  Lack of failure?  Less negative emotions?  And yet courageously, I move beyond them at my own pace because I choose to move beyond them.  Some of them known and consciously avoided, some of them yet unknown - or at least undefined enough to remain unaware for a bit longer.  But through my choice to expand and improve they are eventually revealed.  Longing for the release as a lover longs for the beloved.  I learn over and over again to allow myself and others to each have a different pace, a different focus, a different choice.  With that, a taste of Freedom Aligned. 

Freedom is a moment, Aligned until the next moment of resistance, the next moment of withholding full Love for what is.  Freedom is a feeling, Aligned until the next moment of fear - realized, avoided or unaware, but still infecting the moment.  Freedom is the release from fear, the release from resisting even vaguely fearful experiences, like the unspoken judgment of another. 

Fear is a potent method of paralyzing Love Flow.  Fear in and of itself is not all bad, sometimes it results in Flow.  For instance, anger is an emotional response that masks fear.  It may be anger at someone that has wronged you, it may be anger at a situation like poverty, it may be anger at yourself for avoiding your fears (heehee).  Underneath the aforementioned anger may be fear of abandonment, fear of survival and fear of worthlessness, respectively (among other nuances).  Anger can move you to action.  Many people actually need it for movement because they can’t initiate through Love or receiving.  Sometimes, that’s where I am (anger need not manifest loudly – rage is a different story!).  Anger will allow you access to movement, even improvement, because you break past a wall that was holding you in.  Ever get so angry at a boss that you finally get another job?  Ever get so angry at yourself for not taking a chance that you take one next time?  Anger is like a wild wind, while understanding is like a gentle breeze.  They each have their benefits; sometimes it takes a wild wind to really clear the air, other times wild wind can be destructive.  Sometimes a gentle breeze is just enough to cool you off on a spring day.  Summer might require something stronger.  Eventually, you become accustomed to your new empowerment and you move gracefully past the types of issues that would have caused anger before.  For instance, you realize that the boss is acting out insecurities and fears and you need not plug into the emotions of it.  The gentle breeze becomes a way of life with no resistance to anger when it surfaces for resolution.

So much of our fear is fear of the future.  We fear for financial safety, emotional safety, physical safety (health and otherwise).  These can be easily understood.  In looking at life in society today, it’s easy to understand how they have solidified.  They are further perpetuated by a cycle of greed that relies on fear to make money or hording to ensure safety in an unsafe and supply-limited world (lack).  The only way to move past these fears is to find the perspective of Love, of ease or sometimes of anger that moves you to change.  When I can find a perspective of the benefits of things that I fear, then I can embrace them.  Some are easier than others, so I recognize some and work on them, I recognize some and put them away for another day, and others I ignorantly avoid or don’t define until later.  But I choose to move past them eventually and Love is the only bridge to new land.  A bridge to Freedom Aligned. 

As we sit to Blast Freedom Aligned, we are seeking a new perspective past the fears that keep us bound.  We are opening to Love where Love was denied and embracing a new path.  We are recognizing that fear is money for many and we can stay grounded in reality and safety at the same time.  We are becoming sovereign in our emotions and our reactions.   We are becoming empowered within all interaction in life, even as others perpetuate habits of avoidance or lack.  We are crossing the bridge to our new Divine Beingness that Knows us as Creators of a Love-based world.  We are recognizing the beauty in the journey and the value of diversity and challenge as each moment offers new understanding of our capability.  We are releasing the fears of the future, the resentments of the past and allowing our ability to Love become the magnet for Freedom Aligned.  Blast on!
